Scope and Content Note

Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically, by title.

Divided into 3 sub-series: Articles, Speeches, and Contributions. All of the writings included here are from the periods before
and after McWilliams 20-year tenure as editor of
The Nation. While the earliest is an article on John Dos Passos written in 1931, the bulk of materials date from the 1940s and early 1950s.
Most recent contributions include a speech written in 1979 and the original manuscript for McWilliams last article "Los Angeles:
A Very Special City", published in 1980. Includes outlines, notes and related correspondence.

Includes notes, correspondence, print materials, clippings, and pamphlets. Topics such as "Agricultural Labor" and the "Viet
Nam war" are covered extensively. "Capital Punishment" includes correspondence from Eleanor Roosevelt and Caryl Chessman,
while "Race Relations" includes a scrapbook and loose pages created in 1944-45 to illustrate the role of African Americans
during World War II.

Pamphlets collected by McWilliams are arranged by subject to mirror the organization of the series, and within each subject,
arranged alphabetically by author. Rich with a variety of view points and collected over a period of many years, the subject
files illustrate McWilliams search for the understanding of issues from many perspectives and his need to re-evaluate and
update his themes throughout his career. Many of the print materials are heavily annotated.

Divided into 4 sub-series: Correspondence (arranged alphabetically), and Awards, Works About, and Miscellaneous (arranged
chronologically). The bulk of materials date from the 1970s, but an interview on the House on Un-American Activities Committee
given in 1962 and an open letter regarding the Communist party written in 1952, are included.
